Description
Hello, welcome to my profile :)
My name is Elham, I was born and raised in Iran and lived in North America for the past 16 years. I am a learning technologies researcher with two serious hobbies: playing and singing music (Persian instruments) and making pottery and ceramics art. I am currently taking time off from my job and am doings things that help me build a more fulfilling life experience. Hence I am here!
My passion is learning, doing creative things, and gaining new experiences. I particularly enjoy building and designing projects, whether if it’s a house project (like painting and repairing a garage door) or an art project (like creating a ceramic bowl or weaving a Persian rug). I also enjoy farming and gardening; my parents have a small farm in Northern Iran and every time I visit, I help them with gardening tasks. I am also a good cook, especially when it comes to Persian cuisine. And lastly, I love learning new languages (currently learning Italian), and teaching languages (have thought Farsi to children and adults for several years).
I am an easy going, responsible, and caring individual who is seeking new adventures in life. I am new to Workaway platform, and I look forward to using my established skillset and learn new skills in my Workaway experience. I am here to make use of my skills in the best possible way: volunteering and sharing! And I hope one day I will host my own workaway project somewhere in the world, being inspired by this community!
